Adoption information
About Rex
Introducing Rex, a big energetic boy with the enthusiasm of a puppy!
He'll need a strong and capable handler to handle his size and energy.
Rex is highly motivated by treats, and with the right owner who is willing to work with him on his manners and training he is sure to grow into a loyal and loveable pal. Rex's under-socialisation with other dogs means he sometimes lacks manners, but he is responsive to corrections.
Rex is best suited to be the only pet in the household. Because of his boisterous nature, a home without young children is best suited for him.
Rex will require secure fencing to keep him safe during outdoor yard time.
Rex's ideal home is one that values training, stimulating activities, and plenty of love by your side.
If you're up for the challenge of nurturing his potential and channeling his vibrant energy, Rex will prove to be the most rewarding of friends.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- 1-4pm
Tues- CLOSED
Wed- 1-4pm
Thurs- 1-4pm
Fri- 1-4pm
Sat- 9am-12:30pm - Dogs Only

Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
